2012 SEC Football Schedule: Top Matchups To Watch for Next Season

The 2012 SEC schedule hasn't been released yet, but already some potential games are coming out of the woodwork.

Among others, the schedules of Florida and Georgia have already been leaked, while other matchups for top SEC teams are being revealed bit by bit.

Here are some top SEC clashes to watch for next season (all matchups aren't official).

4. Georgia at Missouri (early Sept.)

No. 16 Georgia has had a successful season so far, going 10-3 and only losing to Boise State, South Carolina and No. 1 LSU.

The offense, led by sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray, is fun to watch, and this should be an intriguing matchup in Missouri's first season in the SEC.

Missouri went 8-5 this season and capped it off by beating North Carolina in the Independence Bowl, 41-24.

The Tigers rank 10th in rushing yards per game this season, led by quarterback James Franklin, who took over for Blaine Gabbert.

3. Florida at Texas A&M (second week of season)

Florida has had a fairly disappointing season by the Gators' historic standards, but they scored big time with their latest recruiting class, ranked No. 4 by ESPNU.

The Gators' biggest prizes in the 2012 recruiting class are offensive linemen D.J. Humphries and Jessamen Dunker.

As for Texas A&M, this will be the Aggies' first SEC game of the season, after moving over from the Big 12.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Cyrus Gray will be gone, off to the NFL, but the Aggies have enough talent to compete in the SEC regardless.

2. Alabama vs. Texas A&M

This should be a fun matchup.

Alabama, of course, is No. 2 in the nation this season and headed to the BCS National Championship Game.

It will be interesting to see Alabama's defense matched up with a Texas A&M offense that averaged 39.6 points per game this season and played a lot of top teams tough, including Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas. The Aggies beat Baylor.

This is going to be a big step for Texas A&M, moving to the SEC, and the Aggies will be aiming to prove they belong in the top conference in the nation.

1. Georgia at South Carolina (Oct.)

One of Georgia's three losses this season came against Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks, so you can bet when the two teams match up again, Georgia will be vying for some payback.

South Carolina's victory over Georgia came in the second week of the season this year, and it was a squeaker, 45-42.

Aaron Murray threw for 248 yards and four touchdowns and Gamecocks star Marcus Lattimore rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown.

Look for another thriller next season.
